Broadsworded

xiphias gladius, the broadsworded gladiator of the sea

A small man he, booted, belted, buckskinned, broadsworded, to the hilt, his face like an old brown canvas sail, his hair whirling like smoke about his head.

Both were in their middle thirties, tall and well muscled for the day, even if lightweights compared to Lamington and Polmood, and their habit was thick soldierly leather, broadsworded at the belt.

From prehistoric eons to distant galaxies, broadsworded behemoths and laser-blasting bozos undertake great quests and dangerous journeys across new worlds (and even weirder old ones).

Celtic tattoos probably look great on some woad-covered warrior, running broadsworded-up to lop the head off some Roman.
